Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustraliaUnfortunately there is some construction work next door but it didn’t bother us as we spent our time on the beach.
Loved the location on an isolated beach. The Sea view room was perfect. Very big and very clean. The food was excellent and the staff were all very kind. We had the most incredible massages at the on-site spa.

United KingdomOur stay at Seven Turtles was really special, we were treated so nicely by all staff and our room was lovely. The whole place is very peaceful and we did not feel the works next door (which they kindly pre-warned us about) distracted from the tranquil location. Ours was a sea view room and the loudest noise was the sound of the sea which was very nice! Thank you, from Hannah and George.

If you are looking for a quiet place to spend your vacation - Seven Turtles is the place! A special thanks to staff - Konstantin, restaurant staff were very friendly and made our stay absolutely perfect. The chef at the restaurant deserves a separate mention, the food we had was absolutely delicious. Everything from the variety of food options to portion sizes was spot on! We had Sri Lankan tranditional dishes, seafood, European breakfast - the menu is perfectly designed to meet the variety of tastes. Thank you, Seven Turtles, for making our stay so special, we hope to come again!

SwedenWe had an absolutely amazing time at Seven Turtles! The hotel is fresh and beautifully located right on the beach, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. The beachside restaurant and bar were fantastic, allowing us to enjoy great food and drinks with stunning ocean views. The swimming pool was lovely—clean, well-maintained, and a perfect spot to unwind. The restaurant offered a wide variety of options, and every dish we tried was delicious. What truly made our stay special was the incredible hospitality. The staff and the owner genuinely care about their guests, making sure we felt welcome and well taken care of throughout our stay. Everything about this place was perfect. We highly recommend Seven Turtles and would love to return. A true 10/10 experience!

PolandWe spent wonderful 3 days at Seven Turtles. Beautifully located at a very long, wide and beautiful sandy beach this small hotel is definitely a place we can recommend to anyone willing to spend their vacation in a tranquil place at Sri Lankan's south coast. The owners we had a pleasure to meet as well as all staff members were all so nice and friendly making us always feel very welcome and cared for. Special thanks to the Chef and his team for taking an extra effort to prepare delicious vegan meals for us! Our rooms were very clean, well equipped, air conditioned with comfy beds. Wi-Fi could be better so we were relying on our own mobile router mainly.

United States- one major issue: if you book a bungalow then expect bass music from the bar. The music started at 8:30 and didn’t stop until 10pm. While it might not bother some, I came to this place for quiet and really didn’t like the music. My family stayed in a room facing away from the ocean and didn’t hear the music. - the dogs, while so lovely!, did bark several times during the night, waking me up - the wifi was great in the bungalow but unusable in the 3rd floor garden room. Since the room cost a lot for Sri Lanka, this was disappointing.
- wonderful location right on the beach! So relaxing and peaceful, far away from the noise and hustle of the other beach areas of the south coast - delicious breakfast with multiple options - delicious dinner - friendly staff, clean rooms, comfortable beds, easy transfer services, beautiful grounds - generally quiet - far away from tuk tuks, bars and all the chaos that is hard to get away from in Sri Lanka

AustraliaIt’s dumping surf at this beach so too rough for all but the most confident swimmers - so check the conditions if you are keen to spend time in the ocean.
Fantastic location right on the beach. Only 10 rooms so quiet and laid back. Great food at the restaurant although you can wander down the beach to other places. Looks like the beach may get overdeveloped in the next few years so get here asap. And it’s the only beach we’ve been to in Asia with no rubbish on it. Get a room with beach view if you can.

Sri LankaAccess road surface needs improvement. While it's not within the sole control of the hotel, it does impact the overall experience just a bit, as getting to and from the hotel, is somewhat rustic.
Courteous and friendly staff, and the hotel is located within a few feet of a very clean stretch of beach. Food was tasty as well. The hotel itself is lovely and well laid out.
